[Am] [G] [C]
[C]I worked in a London bank, respectable po[G]sition,

[chorus]
[C]She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [Dm]skirt,
She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [C]skirt,

A [Em]rose in her [Am]hair, a gleam in her eyes,
and [G]love in her heart for [C]me

[C]Goodbye to the London bank, I started in a[G]sailin’,
The fourteenth day from [C]Mandalay I [D]spied her from the [G]railin’,

She [G]said, “You son of an [C]Englishman, I’ve [G]dreamed each night of [C]you”

And they both said [C]we could be wed, oh, [D]what a cere[G]mony.
An [C]elephant brought her [F]in, [C]placed her by my [Dm]side,
While [G]six baboons got out [C]bassoons and [G]played “Here Comes the [C]Bride”
[chorus]
[C]She wears red feathers and a huly-huly [Dm]skirt,
